Atlanta Bar-B-Q Club

Barbecue is a distinctly American art form, much like jazz music and feigning an understanding of jazz music. Celebrate patriotic cuisine with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get a one-year membership (a $25 value) from the Atlanta Bar-B-Q Club.

Atlanta Bar-B-Q Club brings lovers of all things barbecue together in a warm, delicious pit of education, discounts, and carnivorous camaraderie, earning it a glowing feature in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Join other saucy faces at the monthly “meatings,” held at local establishments, where guest speakers dispense grilling tips and antivegetable pamphlets while members eat and discuss goings-on in the barbecue community. Membership also dry-rubs meat lovers with 10% discounts to local member restaurants, an excuse to nickname yourself "Boss Hog," field trips to barbecue contests, and invites to private functions. Check the online schedule of events for upcoming club happenings.

Atlanta Bar-B-Q Club

Members of the Atlanta Bar-B-Q Club aren’t just connected their shared tastes. These meat-lovers want to know everything about the craft and care put into savory barbecue meals. They satisfy this hunger for knowledge by gathering at a local barbecue joint for monthly “meatings,” communal feasts where barbecue experts give cooking tips. Between the monthly events, members also enjoy discounts at restaurants, including Jim ‘N Nicks and Pit Boss, all easily located thanks to the club-provided map of participating eateries and compass that always points towards the nearest plate of ribs. Members can attend invite-only parties hosted by fellow club members or chefs, tag along on field trips to the National BBQ Festival and other nearby cooking events, or judge dishes at the club’s own barbecue contest.
